Alcohol swabs are small, individually wrapped pads or wipes saturated with a solution containing isopropyl alcohol, usually at a concentration of 70%. These swabs are primarily used for disinfecting surfaces, instruments or skin prior to various procedures, such as injections, piercings or medical examinations. In home settings, alcohol swabs are commonly found in first-aid kits for their practical sterilizing and cleaning features.
In addition, alcohol swabs also serve as helpful tools during daily household activities. They could be employed to remove adhesive residues, clean electronics, or maintain the hygiene of other household items, effectively eliminating bacteria and germs.
